Happy 50th Wedding Anniversary

Mum & Mandy.

Jeanette & George my DH’s Mum & Dad will be married for fifty years on 29th May and family and friends surprised them with a party yesterday Sat 26th May.
Mum & Dad were so surprised as they had though that we had forgotten.
The party was wonderful and Mum & Dad were so happy to see friends, some old friends, family and long lost family came.
Cathy my SIL had the party at her place in the garage as seen in the photo. The memory quilt that I started was given as a quilt top as time ran out and I had been sick with the flu. Mum loved the top and handed it back and is waiting for it to be quilted by next week please. Ha Ha !!!!!!!!!!! The weather got colder as the night went on but not as cold as May can be so we were luckly on the night. There were two outdoor heaters that keep us warm.
Photo’s taken on the night.

New Toy.

The big day has

arrived my 50th birthday. My DH & 2 DS's gave me a Janome 350E machine. I have had it for two weeks now and have had a little play but the big day is the 21st.

I so love my other Janome seen with my little helper Darcy ( This photo was taken when we first brought him home at 3 months old.)

Last Friday a week ago I went to the 350E club at my local sewing centre and had my first class on using my machine. I am so going to enjoy my new toy. Darcy loves to help me in my sewing room.

Mum what's in here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

More Atc's.

It has been a few days since I have added to my blog. Have been busy with life.
Last week I finished some more ATC's that I have posted to friends on internet groups. The Photo's of these ATC's are posted here today. I so enjoy doing these little cards.

It's a great way to use up all those little scraps of fabric that are just sitting in boxes.

The blue and pink ATC that I called "Happy Garden" is made from fabric that is in my first quilt that I made for my bed October 2002.
